AB  - The presence of numerous emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and remobilization 
      of legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in polar regions have become 
      significant concerns of the scientific communities, public groups and 
      stakeholders. This work reviews the occurrences of EOCs and POPs and their 
      long-range environmental transport (LRET) processes via atmosphere and ocean 
      currents from continental sources to polar regions. Concentrations of classic 
      POPs have been systematically monitored in air at several Arctic stations and 
      showed seasonal variations and declining trends. These chemicals were also the 
      major POPs reported in the Antarctica, while their concentrations were lower than 
      those in the Arctic, illustrating the combination of remoteness and lack of 
      potential local sources for the Antarctica. EOCs were investigated in air, water, 
      snow, ice and organisms in the Arctic. Data in the Antarctica are rare. 
      Reemission of legacy POPs and EOCs accumulated in glaciers, sea ice and snow may 
      alter the concentrations and amplify their effects in polar regions. Thus, future 
      research will need to understand the various biogeochemical and geophysical 
      processes under climate change and anthropogenic pressures.
